    This is by far the best explanation of the 12bb, thanks for clearly explaining targeting notes and arpeggios, now I have a solid base to start practicing knowing that I'm going in the right direction.

    Hi...Tomlin and Liam, are two really straight forward Harmonica Teacher's. This above lesson will help myself and try to connect some dots, and sound half decent (more importantly knowing why). A very helpful video, Thank you Tomlin. Cheers.

    Brillaint explanation - just what i have been looking for, getting some proper blues sounding stucture into just "playing around". Thanks so much. I was struggling with various obtuse explanations of these basic concepts - actually quite pleasantly surprised to see i was on the right track in getting this - but this little talk and dmeo put it all togehter so well!

      Hi, I did not understand his English 100%...can you write down the points of notes?
      1, 4, 5, chords: 1=2 draw, 4=4blow, 5=4 draw and more?
      What I know so far is that any blues scales can blened with1, 4, 5 chords. Right?

    • @Thierz
      @Thierz 6 лет назад +1

      Charlie Chong, Tomlin's point is that you can play the single notes corresponding to the arpeggio of the chords. For chord I: 2 draw, 3 draw, 4 draw, 5 draw (see video at 5:30). For chord IV: 1 blow, 2 blow, 3 blow, 3 half-step bend (see video at 5:56). For chord V: 1 draw, 2 half-step bend, 3 whole-step bend, 4 blow (see video at 6:42).

    Hi Tom.. Great videos you're making.. I have a question though.. I really want to succeed at learning the harmonica and beeing good at it.. I have so far learned single notes, bending on 4 and 3. The blues scale (The basic one). I also learned to play a song. What should be my next step/steps? I really want to keep advancing my play and not get stuck. Thank you again.

    • @TomlinHarmonica
      @TomlinHarmonica  6 лет назад

      Hi Nichlas - first of all you are doing great! I would recommend learning some more tunes at this stage. If you go to my beginners section you will see a bunch of songs you can learn - ruclips.net/p/PLZbYT_90MeIwzz-yIIdZ9C1vt6ntZnnYh Let me know how you get on :-)

  • @joemazmo7981
    @joemazmo7981 Год назад

    In the cheat sheet it says you can play any version of the root note. Does this mean if the root note is 2 draw you can play 2 draw, half step bend or 2 draw full step bend?
    Thank you.

    Regarding the same notes in different octives, if someone says he's playing a note of C, e.g., how would I know which C he's referencing?

  • @Duende402
    @Duende402 2 года назад

    So if I want to sing over the first two bars, then play two bars of licks each line, everything is on the one chord? I've been trying to figure out for months how to accompany my singing.

  • @kenlegare9630
    @kenlegare9630 5 лет назад

    Just curious- should the five chord not be a 4 draw in the first octave?

    • @TomlinHarmonica
      @TomlinHarmonica  5 лет назад

      Great question Ken. The root note of the V chord is a 4 draw but you don't have to play the root note over a chord. This is just an approach that I (and a lot of other teachers) teach to get people started with improvisation.

  • @305western6
    @305western6 3 года назад

    In my country ( USA) there are similar people doing this, characters that are basically square . So they
    find each other and create other squares and they call it playing blues. The result is the harmonica on the net gets a a reputation like a folk banjo player. That's fine for a lot of people but this is NOT and never will be blues.
